LITTLE BO-BAT 





L T 



ITTLE Bo-Bat 
Has lost her rat, 
And can't tell where to find it; 
Leave it alone 
Will it come home, 
Wagging its tail behind it? 




TOM, TOM 
THE CHAPLAIN'S SON 





T 



OM, Tom, the Chaplain's son, 
Used perfume and sen-sen gum. 
Perfume's fine 
And so is gum, 
But what is the matter with the 
Chaplain's son? 




HIGGLED Y, PIGGLEDY 
SEE MY MEN 





HIGGLED Y, piggledy, see my 
men, 
My nice squad of rookies ten; 
People come from far away 
To see me drill my men each day. 




PRIVATE MAHONEY 





PRIVATE Mahoney 
Sat all aloney, 
Feasting on crackers and beer ; 
A "TB" 1 espied him, 
And crept down inside him, 
And he's gone to Fort Bayard 2 
for a year.

TO BED, TO BED 
SAID SLEEPY-HE AD 



■a * 





TO bed, to bed, said sleepy 
head. 
Let's tarry a while, said the 
winner, 
Your luck will turn on a red, 
white and blue, 
So let the jack-pot simmer. 




MOTHER, MAY I GO OUT 
TO MANILA? 




MOTHER, may 
I go out to 
Manila? 
Yes, my darling 
daughter ; 
But mind the sea is 
sometimes rough, 
You may cast your 
bread on the water 




DICKERY, DICKERY, DOLE, THE 
LIEUTENANT'S UP THE POLE 





DICKER Y, dickery, dole! 
The Lieutenant's up the 
pole, 
But when he comes down, 
Woe to the town, 
Dickery, dickery, dole!

CURLY-LOCKS, CURLY-LOCKS 





CURLY-LOCKS, Curly-Locks, 
wilt thou be mine, 
And care for my motherless children, 

nine? 
I hear thou canst sew and cook dishes 

fine, 
Which my divorced wife never did in 
her time. 




SING A SONG OF SIX PENCE 
A COLONEL FULL OF RYE 





SING a song of six pence, 
A Colonel full of rye, 
Wishes he could creep to bed, 
And dodge his dear wife's eye. 

But when the door is opened, • 
His wife begins to scold, — 

Now isn't that a cruel way 
To treat a Colonel bold? 

The Colonel's been to the Club all night, 
At bridge a-losing money, 

His wife has waited long for him, 
She will not call him "Honey." 

The cook was in the kitchen 
A- warming of her toes, 

When along came the striker 
And kissed her 'neath her nose.

RIDE A Q.M. HORSE 
THE COUNTRY ACROSS 





RIDE aQ.M, horse the country 
ta across, 
And you will come home very much 

at a loss 
To know how on earth your dinner 

you'll eat 
Since you're sure you would rather 
not sit on a seat. 



THE OLDK.O. 
WAS A JOLLY OLD BEAU 





THE old K.O. 
Was a jolly old beau, 
And a jolly old beau was he; 
He went to the City 
In cits clothes so pretty, 
And he jollied the chorus girls three. 




25 



LIEUTENANT JACK HORNER 





LIEUTENANT Jack Horner 
J Sat in a corner 
Imbibing much wet nourishment, 
For the Queen of the town 
Had turned him down, 
And smiled on the goat 
of the regiment

SIMPLE SIMON MET A GENERAL 




SIMPLE SIMON met a 
General, 
On an Army transport; 
Simple Simon licked his boots, 
For this was Simon's forte. 
Quoth Simon, "I am mak- 
ing good," 
His head inflated grew; 
But, alas ! when they reached 

Manila 
He was sent to the tall bam- 
boo.

JACK AND JILL 

WENT UP THE HILL UPON THE 

WATER WAGON 





JACK and Jill went up the hill 
Upon the water wagon; 
They both fell down, 
And broke their crown, 
The fatal result of painting the town. 




31 



HEY! DIDDLE, DIDDLE 
SHE'S BIG IN THE MIDDLE 





HEY! diddle, diddle, 
She's big in the middle, 
She can't wear her new tube gown ; 
But get her some stays 
That lace up both ways, 
She will not be so 
big around 




33 



RICHARD AND ROBERT WERE 
TWO PRETTY AIDES 





R 




ICHARD and Robert were two 
pretty aides, 
Who to bed went at dawn with two 

aching heads; 
At eleven a. m. Robert leaped from 

his bed, 
"Oh, Richard, the General will be 

waiting," he said. 
"Shut up," said Richard, "don't make 
such a fuss ; 

The General was fuller than 
either of us." 



35 



HUMPTY DUMPTY WENT 
ON A SPREE 





HUMPTY Dumpty went on a 
spree, 
Humpty Dumpty was sick as could 

be; 
Now all his regiment, Colonel and 

men, 

Couldn't make Humpty Dumpty 

go boozing again. 




37 



THE COLQNEE'S WIFE AND 
THE CAPTAIN'S WIFE 





THE Colonel's wife and the Cap- 
tain's wife 
Were fighting for the prize, 
And scarcely had the game begun, 

Before the guests were wise ; 
The hostess held her breath for fear 
They'd scratch each other's eyes. 




39 



THREE BLIND BUGS 





THREE blind bugs, see how they 
run! 
They all run after the boy in blue 
And chase him to Bayard for a year 

or two, 
Where he sleeps out of doors and 
grows very blue— 

Three blind bugs.

THERE WAS A LITTLE GIRL 






THERE was a little girl and she 
had a little curl, 
Which she pinned 'way back from her 

forehead, 
And when she was bad, she was very, 

very bad, 
And when she was good, she was 
horrid. 




45 



BAA, BAA, BLACK SHEEP 
YOU MUST HAVE SOME PULL 




BAA, baa, black sheep, 
You must have some pull. 
Yes, sir; yes, sir; 

Washington is full 
Of Generals and Senators 

That my near kin be, 
If it were not for their kindness, 
Out of service I would be. 




THERE WAS A LIEUTENANT 
WHO ALWAYS WAS BLUE 





THERE was a lieutenant who 
always was blue; 
He had so many children he didn't 

know what to do; 
Daily to Heaven for war prayed he, 
That he might soon get his captaincy. 




49 



MARY, MARY, FLIRTY FAIRY 




M 



ARY, Mary, flirty fairy, 
How does your body-guard 
grow? 
Tall Captains in blue and a Major 
or two, 
And Lieutenants all in a row.
